Many thanks to Marianne for hosting this week's challenge. A great theme, with loads of possibilities!! Here are my contributions:
1) The soft glow of a candle:
2) The soft-eyed look of bliss on this Barbary Macaque's face as it is groomed by it's mate:
3) A soft bud, waiting to open:
Love the way you have caught the reflection of the candle in the wax. I think the ape is in Nirvana somewhere. You captured the look in his eyes perfectly. The bud looks like it will burst open any minute. 3 great shots.
ReplyDeleteThanks Pat. I took a series of shots of the Macaque while he was being groomed by his mate. In the next shot after this one, he'd dozed off. LOL.
Deleteoh lovely be back in a flash
ReplyDeleteThanks Heidi :-))
DeleteI do like your candle light shot.
ReplyDeleteSoft-eyed fellow with very soft fluffy hair too.
The bud is my favorite.
THanks Marcel. Yes, you're right, not only soft eyes, but soft fur as well :-))
DeleteVery nice, Mitch, especially the candle shot, something mystical about it.
ReplyDeletesorry for being so late with commenting, started off and then the power went, we have had stormy weather all day. Got 45mm of rain in 30 minutes, the hail yesterday was terrible too, my poor garden, all the delicate lettuce is ripped, soooo not a happy chappy.
Thanks Marianne :-)) The candle one was the first one I thought of for the theme. Took a while to hunt it down though, I'd forgotten which folder I'd filed it in!!! LOL.
DeleteSounds like your rainstorms are even worse than mine!!
Three beautiful captures mate wonderful work;)
ReplyDeleteThanks, mate :-))
DeleteLovely soft lighting
ReplyDelete"Here's looking at you, mate."
Beautiful bud.
Thanks, Anders :-))
Delete...nothing beats the soft glow of a candle Mitchy
ReplyDeletethe poor monkey does not look happy but he does look soft
and the bottom one is my favorite, ready to burst forth to life!
Thanks Danette :-)) Actually, the monkey was really happy, he was being groomed by his mate at the time.
DeleteStunning shot of that soft candle light ... too beautiful ....
ReplyDeleteOh what a precious shot ... looks as though he is wearing eye liner ~smile~
Soft bud will soon bloom .... love the downy hairs ......
Thanks Lynne :-))
DeleteI love the soft glow of the candle... perfectly done, Mitchy!
ReplyDeleteThe monkey has a touching soft look and I can feel the little hairs on that bud
with the fingers of my eyes... :)
